This is what I'm not getting; I have built a few projects with vagrant and it's annoying when working on the puppet files that I'm constantly installing php and httpd in the vagrant file just to try a new wordpress config. Should I be using packer to publish a mostly configured vagrant box. My vagrant steps just configure my app specifically for wordpress. Then use that box again in packer to publish it further?
